Taylor Swift on Turning 30 and the Premiere of 'Cats': 'The Cat Life, It Chose Me'

Monday was a big NYC night out for Taylor Swift, who appeared at the premiere of her first major film, "Cats"!
"Extra's" Nate Burleson was with the superstar, who is riding high with multiple successes at once.
In "Cats," the first big-screen adaptation of the beloved Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, Taylor plays Bombalurina, a self-assured feline. In real life, the star is a famous cat lover in her own right. "It’s all led to this," she said of her love for the four-legged fur balls. "I have three cats now, which is technically a herd. When it's three, they have outnumbered you by a drastic amount. I love cats - I always have, since I was a kid. It's not really a choice I made… The cat life, it chose me and I have no choice but to really lean into it. That’s what I am doing."
"Cats" is in theaters December 20.

[@paulcallister9564]

She’s forcing herself to be happy because being 30 and older seems so depressing

[@anannyasriram5052]

"I think we ALL deserve to relax" Victoria Justice must be so proud

[@Akshara_here]

0:00 we saw that hand🤣🤣

[@user-gw5gx8gn2g]

Maggie roe - he tried to shake her hand but Taylor went for a hug hahah

[@charleskim1540]

I am so proud of hear.

[@taranjyotkaur9145]

Anybody feels like Taylor should be celebrating Christmas with Joe ??

[@dustfairy81]

They will, joe mentioned to michael strahan that he will spend the holiday in London with family, and Taylor obviously dodge the question of "where are you going spend your holiday" or something like that and deflect to christmas tree farm sentence, and ends the convo. Smart dodging btw on her part, but she probably will go to london with joe after this event. Joe spent a bit of holiday with Tay in New York and Tay will spend the rest in London

[@holypicklesmofo]

Honestly it seems like a PR relationship. They take a bunch of pictures once a month then don't acknowledge each other whatsoever.

[@Claudia-ty5yr]

@@holypicklesmofo they take no pictures though? they've never posted about each other. there is maybe 6 pictures of them together in the internet and in half of them they are disguised and have obviously been caught off-guard by media

[@qgxyreverse9886]

Joe Alwyn is from London and Taylor Swift is from New York . Sure they will celebrate Christmas but Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn have some photograph because of P team . They aways stalk celebrity and celebrity is getting tired , but Taylor Swift said they don’t ask her wired questions . I would mind Taylor Swift ignore P , Joe Alwyn and Taylor Swift see them a lot I see it on almost do channel . Except one photograph Taylor Swift , want Joe Alwyn to be see .

[@doesitmatter143]

they did! they celebrated her bday again with him cause he was out filming last letter from your lover and this is the day they wrapped the filming and he came to cats premiere!!

[@user-se9fj5md6q]

[@jollyjokress3852]

It's so annoying, when you tell jokes to guys who are attracted to you but they are not relaxed enough to laugh about them :D "It's basically a herd" I thought that was very funny.

[@arhamedhoakbar9813]

who is the redhead woman at 0:02? she is always with Taylor in many award shows. is she her personal assistant?

[@lindseykapanak1331]
